02 Aug 2011 I like this drug in terms of itch relief (about 70% better) and also has improved quality of sleep, but I have experienced severe burning mouth pain w/ thrush type symptoms as well as vaginal yeast infection type symptoms as well.

29 Jun 2009 This drug makes me extremely sleepy. After I take it, I cannot do anything else except fall asleep. Even if I take it at night right before I go to bed, I wake up the next day feeling drowsy and cannot function well. Since I am a student, it makes studying and attending classes difficult sometimes. I have to plan on taking the medication on a night before a day that I do not have to wake up early or have something important to do. The thing I like about this medication is that when I do take it, it makes my allergies go away for several days. Therefore, I only need to feel the effects of drowsiness maybe only one or twice a week rather than every day.

04 Jun 2009 My anxiety has completely gone away with this medication. When I do have a bout of anxiety, I am able to get control and think rationally.
